A full house of motorcyclists rode out Sunday morning to Harley Davidson of Naples to play poker for a charitable cause.

The poker run was part of a weekend-long fundraising event for three families who lost their homes in last month's 800-acre Golden Gate Estates fire.

A golf tournament at Glen Eagle Country Club was also held Sunday morning to raise more money for the families.

Fifty bikers and two participants in cars traveled to five stops where they drew playing cards. The run ended at Beacon Bowl with a barbecue and prizes for the participant with the best hand.

The marathon of charity events, which kicked off Friday night with a concert, was organized by the program directors at both Beacon Bowl and Woodside Bowl.

"It's nice to see people get together like this," said Donna Cesare, program director for both bowling alleys. "Everyone just wanted to help. That was the best part."

The total amount raised by the three-day fundraising event was about $10,000, which was short of the $20,000 target Cesare and other organizers hoped for. The poker run contributed $1,015 to the total.

The money raised from the weekend will go to the Shust, Steinheiser and Brown families, who all are connected to the bowling alleys in one way or another.

"It's very heartwarming," Cesare said. "It's nice to know people still care. It's just too bad it takes a tragedy to bring that out."

Leading off the poker run were fire victims Jeffery "Beasley" Shust and his wife, Dianna. Beasley Shust has worked as a bartender at Beacon Bowl for nine years.

"Every little bit helps, and we're doing fine," Beasley Shust said. Shust, his wife and two children, Kale and Mikayla, are temporarily living in a home donated by a realtor.

"I just want to thank everyone," Beasley Shust said. "I don't know everyone's name that has given me money, or clothing, or a couch or something like that, but I just want to make sure everyone gets thanked even though I don't know sometimes where that $20 came from."

Ending the poker run with a hand of four aces, Georgette Butcher won first prize.
